Note
A plural that only the countable noun can take. When routine means the dull round of procedure in general, it stays singular (life settled into routine). Routines counts separate sequences: a family's morning routines, a comedian's routines, a gymnast's routines on each apparatus, a program's routines and subroutines. The adjective never takes the -s. Checks done by the book are routine checks, never routines checks.
